Eventually, you have to go to non-encrypted HTML, which is made up of
regular, predictable patterns with a small number variations all based on
one of two words: ´font´ or ´type´. That call
is to be found in only a small number of places. It´s been a while since I
paid any close attention, but I know that number is less than ten. How
long would it take to search all ten of those places for text in the
pattern of ´font´ or ´type´ and build out the context from there? Then
echo that across your second connection (which is called for in the
original concept)?
